The Haymana Basin in central Anatolia (Turkey) formed during the closure of the Neo-Tethys in the Late Cretaceous to Middle Eocene as a forearc accretionary wedge. Middle Eocene aged units in this basin are exposed near Çayraz Village, Haymana. The Çayraz Formation is represented by the package of nummulitic banks and intercalation of calcareous mudstones. The aim of this study to investigate the sedimentary cyclicity and depositional sequences in the Eocene successions of the Haymana Basin. To be able to achieve this objective, the stratigraphic section has been measured. Detailed microfacies analyses of the carbonate succession have been carried out to determine the depositional model of the formation. The data indicate a ramp type depositional model. Fossil assemblages have been determined. These fossils are mainly larger benthic foraminifers; Nummulites sp., Assilina sp. and Alveolina sp., Orbitolites sp., Discocyclina sp.. Their relative abundances have been analyzed to determine their responses to cyclicity. The fossil associations in the depositional environment, have been used in vertical changes of the facies as in the lateral relationship of the facies. Thus, cyclic relationships in the stratigraphic sequence have been determined. A total of 21 cycles have been determined. A total of seven boundaries, two possible and five type-2, have been determined and six sequences have been recognized. The age of the stratigraphic sequence has been assigned as Early-early Middle Eocene. The age data has been used for the correlation of the sequence boundaries with the eustatic sea-level curve. The difference between sequence boundaries and the eustatic curve of might have resulted from tectonic activities.

Aptian planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy and microfacies analyses of Mudurnu – Nallihan sequence (Ankara, Turkey) Kayhan, Deniz Yağmur; Özkan Altıner, Sevinç.; Department of Geological Engineering (2019) The Mudurnu – Nallıhan Sequence that comprises the Upper Jurassic – Lower Cretaceous carbonate succession was cut by diabase dykes and intercalated with volcano-sedimentary rocks in the Nallıhan region, Ankara, Turkey. The sequence consists of the Yosunlukbayırı Formation and the Soğukçam Limestone. This study focuses on the high-resolution biostratigraphy and microfacies analyses of the Soğukçam Limestone widely exposed in the north of the Nallıhan town. For this purpose, the stratigraphic section was meas...
Sedimentary cyclicity in the upper cretaceous successions of the Haymana Basin (Turkey): depositional sequences as response to relative sea level changes Huseynov, Afgan; Altıner, Demir; Department of Geological Engineering (2007) The Haymana basin in Central Anatolia (Turkey) formed on a Late Cretaceous to Middle Eocene fore arc accretionary wedge. The aim of this study is to investigate the sedimentary cyclicity and depositional sequences in the Upper Cretaceous clastic successions of the Haymana basin. To be able to achieve this objective, a 250 m stratigraphic section, which is mainly composed of siliciclastics has been measured in the Haymana Basin. In this study, detailed lithofacies analyses were performed and five different ...
Tectono-metamorphic evolution of the northern Menderes Massif : Evidence from the horst between Gördes and Demirci Basins (west Anatolia, Turkey) Buğdaycıoğlu, Çağrı; Bozkurt, Erdin; Department of Geological Engineering (2004) The Menderes Massif forms a large metamorphic culmination in western Turkey ا an extensional province where continental lithosphere has been stretching following Palaeogene crustal thickening. Northern sector of the Massif on the horst between Gördes and Demirci Basins was chosen for structural analysis aimed to study the tectono-metamorphic evolution of the northern Menderes Massif. Within the study area, four groups of rocks are recognized: (1) the metamorphic rocks ا orthogneisses and metasediments; (2) ...
Upper Cenomanian-Lower Campanian Derdere and Karababa formations in the Cemberlitas oil field, southeastern Turkey: their microfacies analyses, depositional environments, and sequence stratigraphy Mülayim, Oğuz; Mancini, Ernest; Çemen, İbrahim; Yılmaz, İsmail Ömer (2016-01-01) The frontal belt of the southeastern Anatolia fold-thrust belt in Turkey contains several small to mid-size oilfields, producing from carbonate reservoirs of the Cretaceous Mardin group. Many of these fields are found along narrow, asymmetrical anticlinal structures, associated with the formation of the fold-thrust belt. The emberlitas oil field in Adiyaman, southeastern Turkey, is one of the most important oilfields in the region. It produces from the Upper Cretaceous Derdere and Karababa formations of the...
Geology and age of mineralization around naldöken village (Ayvacık-Çanakkale) in Biga Peninsula Yıldız, Gökhan Okan; Bozkurt, Erdin; Department of Geological Engineering (2016) Kestanbol pluton (Biga Peninsula) NW Turkey and its volcanic assemblages hosts magmatic and hydrothermal mineralization around Naldöken village, AyvacıkÇanakkale. Various rocks assemblages and their spatial with temporal relations was studied to identify their alteration-mineralization characteristics of the study area. By means of this study, Naldöken mineralization is attributed to emplacement of quartz monzodiorite (20.1 Ma), creating potassic alterations on proximal and lithocap with chalcedonic quartz ...
